x = 12

3(12) + 15 = 51

Find the slope from the table using the slope formula.

mario62 [17]

Answer:

Slope is 2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

What you can do is use the first two coordinates. This would get the formula to look like this:

$\frac{4 - 2}{6 - 3}$

From here you get ⅔ for the slope.

The sum of two numbers is 62, and their difference is 12. What are the numbers?

nordsb [41]

X+y=62 ; x-y=12 Solve for x in one equation and plug that value into the other equation. ===> x=12+y ; 12+y+y=62 Subtract 12 to both sides (2y=50), then divide by 2 to find y (y=25). Now, plug 25 as y into x=12+y, getting x=37. Your two numbers are 37 and 25.
